Position-dependent mass quantum Hamiltonians: general approach and duality

M. A. Rego-Monteiro, Ligia M. C. S. Rodrigues, Evaldo M. F. Curado

Abstract We analyze a general family of position-dependent mass (PDM) quantum Hamiltonians which are not self-adjoint and include, as particular cases, some Hamiltonians obtained in phenomenological approaches to condensed matter physics. We build a general family of self-adjoint Hamiltonians which are quantum mechanically equivalent to the non-self-adjoint proposed ones. Inspired by the probability density of the problem, we construct an ansatz for the solutions of the family of self-adjoint Hamiltonians. We use this ansatz to map the solutions of the time independent Schrödinger equations generated by the non-self-adjoint Hamiltonians into the Hilbert space of the solutions of the respective dual self-adjoint Hamiltonians. This mapping depends on both the PDM and on a function of position satisfying a condition that assures the existence of a consistent continuity equation. We identify the non-self-adjoint Hamiltonians here studied with a very general family of Hamiltonians proposed in a seminal article of Harrison (1961 Phys. Rev. 123 85 ) to describe varying band structures in different types of metals. Therefore, we have self-adjoint Hamiltonians that correspond to the non-self-adjoint ones found in Harrison’s article.

New results for Heisenberg dynamics for non self-adjoint Hamiltonians

Fabio Bagarello

In a previous paper we began our analysis on the role of non self-adjoint Hamiltonians in connection with the Heisenberg dynamics for quantum systems. Here, motivated by the growing interest on this topic and on some recent results on dynamical systems, we continue this analysis focusing on what we believe is an unexplored (or, at least, not so explored! aspect of Heisenberg dynamics, related to the need for using vectors which are {\em brute-force normalized}. Our main interest is on conserved quantities, and on conditions which guarantee that some observables of the system, or their mean values, do not evolve in time.
